Why do news outlets give such prominence to these dinosaurs and their internal self-strangulation? The latest census shows religious attendance / observance is at an all time low – around 1 person in every hundred is a regular church-goer. Gay issues don’t receive anything like the amount of coverage these old, out-of-touch, homophobic, misogynists do. It’s time we simply ignored their childish rants and let them and their Daily Mail reading followers wither into the mist of history.

I propose not only should the CoE have a schism but those UK Anglican clergy supporting equal marriage should have one of their own by forming an Episcopalian branch. Archbishop Justin Welby’s worst nightmare.

Although I’m a strong supporter for disestablishment, it wouldn’t shut them up. Just look at the Vatican for starters. Italy disestablished the roman cult in 1984 and it has become even more vicious and hateful than ever. Organised cults have been at the forefront of homophobia, in fact the principle proponents if you look at their sordid history. They just don’t like gay people, let’s face it. They wished we’d all disappear permanently.

Look at the quality of life and might I say a far better society of people we have than compared to out there where they are all so holy. How can they possibly think ‘god’ is on their side. I wish I could fast forward to a time where humanity has realise religion is a load of hoop and god doesn’t exist. More peaceful time’s they will be for sure.

Whenever anyone mentions “the West”, it is somewhat obvious that what they’re saying is determined by a political bias born in the Cold War.

The CofE needs to decide sooner rather than later, is it a Church of England, or a Church of Africa? It has to either be liberal or reactionary, every passing day makes it harder for the CofE to be both.

Rather it seems that homosexuality is a preoccupation with Anglican clerics in Black Africa.Poverty & hunger does not seem to concern them half as much as who is gay.
It is however “The Church of England” not the Church of Kenya,of Botswana,of Uganda.
I personally hope that with the new Archbishop of Canterbury – the CofE’s infatuation and I use that word advisedly,with black africa ceases promptly.
Pandering to these black clerics as well as the US-style “Evangelicals” who have invaded the CofE as was warned some years ago and the so-called “Traditionalists” has simply created and grown a huge gulf between the Cof E and its proper community – the people of England especially the YOUNG people of England.
Look at the Cof E congregations – nearly now wholly elderley with barely a smattering of folks under 20 or 25.
Put your own house in order Bishop Wabekulu and keep your nose out of our business.

I have met former Bishop V. Gene Robinson several times, and I attended the ceremony this weekend in New Hampshire for the transition of Bishops.

It is too bad that this man probably has never met Gene Robinson face to face, nor shook hands with him, for if he did he might find a really good man who had to endure much to bring his faith forward.

He should be thanking his god that this is his biggest and most pressing problem : Or he needs to look around his own backyard. There are far more important things to worry about in Kenya. Yet another single issue preoccupied fool.
